SOUL BOOKS

‘HOLY FIRE - The Process of Soul Awakening’ by Dr Thomas Yeomans - an informative and inspiring exploration of the nature of the soul, the practice of ‘Soul Process Work’, and of the connection between soul and planet. Highly recommended.

‘Care of the Soul - A guide for cultivating depth and sacredness in everyday life’ by Thomas Moore - a beautiful, poetic and inspiring call to ‘descend’ into the potential soulfulness of ‘ordinary’ life and to live more soulfully in and through the everyday world.

‘Dark Nights of the Soul - A guide to finding your way through life’s ordeals’’ by Thomas Moore - another beautifully written exploration of how we can connect with the depths of our soul through embracing the challenges of life’s darker times.

‘Anam Cara - Spiritual wisdom from the Celtic World’ and ‘Eternal Echoes - Exploring our Hunger to Belong” by John O’Donohue - both these books are filled with deeply lyrical and poetic wisdom that touches the heart and speaks directly to the soul.

‘SOULCRAFT - Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche’ by Bill Plotkin - a comprehensive guide to the many ways to encounter and nurture the soul, with a particular focus on the value of experiences in and of Nature as a path to soul, and full of practices ands activities to support the soul’s journey.

‘WILD MIND - A Field Guide to the Human Psyche’ by Bill Plotkin - a powerfully original map of the human psyche and how it relates to the wider field of Nature to which it belongs, using subpersonalities and the Four Directions to outline the four facets of `Self’, with many corresponding activities and exercises.

‘The Living Universe - Where are we? Who are we? Where are we going?’ by Duane Elgin - explores the transformation that occur within our consciousness and culture when we realise that we are living in a Living Universe rather than a dead one. A transformative read.

‘CHOOSING EARTH - Humanity’s Journey of Initiation Through Breakdown and Collapse to Mature Planetary Community’ by Duane Elgin - a thought-provoking and challenging assessment of the future we now face. Not an easy read, but a necessary one, which sees the potential of an initiatory transformation of human consciousness and culture through the difficult planetary changes ahead.
